Tripadvisor 4.5/5 (about 1,733 reviews, 2 of 3 in Blue Bay, mostly built up under Anantara Iko) and Google 4.3/5 (1,259 reviews). Praise centres on staff, the pools and spa, and the kids club; the drawbacks are high prices and occasional maintenance delays, and with the February 2026 change of operator its current state needs watching. Xiaohongshu volume is low; most posts still use the old name "Anantara IKO" and the new name has only the brand account and one family post, so the reputation signal is weak (titles only read).
